Thunderbird Bare Naked!

Recent News

Stripped of all camouflage, Ford's Thunderbird shows few styling alterations from its show-car days, save taillights that extend out farther and a rear bumper enlarged slightly for crashworthiness. Riding atop a modified Lincoln LS platform, the convertible will be sold with a standard-equipment removable hardtop and will be powered by Ford's 3.9-liter twin-cam V-8 mated to a five-speed automatic. A 3.0-liter V-6 with manual transmission should follow. The car was to have been in showrooms in November, but production glitches at Ford's plant in Wixom, Michigan, are said to have made that debut unlikely.
